Prayer To The Earth For Rain Poem by Shukdeb Mazumder

Shukdeb Mazumder

Earth, hurriedly give birth
to a long shower of rain,
I am in pungent pain
poured by the summer hearth.

Please try to understand
the weird behaviour of summer-
the scorching sun, hot air
and the state of no-rain grand.

The pitched paths are cookers
reflecting fire to the pedestrians,
heatwaves are creating hains
making us suffocation-sufferers.

Dried up is my dearest nature-
save her, earth, save us and usher!
